That Tired Feeling

Everybody needs and should take a good
spring medicine, for two reasons;
1st, The body Is now more susceptible to
benefit from medicine than at any other season.

tratlng effects Of warm weather are felt.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best spring medl-

superiority. Take 1t before It is too late.

medicine, and I find 1t just the thing. Ittoncs
